Canada said an emotional goodbye Saturday night.

The Tragically Hip played what is expected to be their final show, wrapping up their “Man Machine Poem” tour at home in Kingston, Ontario. Gord Downie, the band’s iconic lead singer, has terminal brain cancer.

The concert was broadcast nationally on CBC and NHLers were tuned in, much like the rest of the nation – including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was in attendance.
